And when the people
saw
that Moses
delayed
to come down
out of the mount,
the people
gathered themselves together
unto Aaron,
and said
unto him, Up,
make
us gods,
which shall go
before
us; for as for this Moses,
the man
that brought
us up out of the land
of Egypt,
we wot
not what is become of him.

And Aaron
said
unto them, Break off
the golden
earrings,
which are in the ears
of your wives,
of your sons,
and of your daughters,
and bring
them unto me.
And all the people
brake off
the golden
earrings
which were in their ears,
and brought
them unto Aaron.
And he received
them at their hand,
and fashioned
it with a graving tool,
after he had made
it a molten
calf:
and they said,
These be thy gods,
O Israel,
which brought
thee up out of the land
of Egypt.

And when Aaron
saw
it, he built
an altar
before
it; and Aaron
made proclamation,
and said,
To morrow
is a feast
to the LORD.
And they rose up early
on the morrow,
and offered
burnt offerings,
and brought
peace offerings;
and the people
sat
down to eat
and to drink,
and rose up
to play.
And the LORD
said
unto Moses,
Go,
get thee down;
for thy people,
which thou broughtest
out of the land
of Egypt,
have corrupted
themselves:

They have turned
aside quickly
out of the way
which I commanded
them: they have made
them a molten

and have worshipped
it, and have sacrificed
thereunto, and said,
These be thy gods,
O Israel,

And the LORD
said
unto Moses,
I have seen
this people,
and, behold, it is a stiffnecked
people:
Now therefore let me alone,
that my wrath
may wax hot
against them, and that I may consume
them: and I will make
of thee a great
nation.
And Moses
besought
the LORD
his God,
and said,
LORD,
why doth thy wrath
wax hot
against thy people,
which thou hast brought forth
out of the land
of Egypt
with great
power,
and with a mighty
hand?

Wherefore should the Egyptians
speak,
and say,
For mischief
did he bring
them out, to slay
them in the mountains,
and to consume
them from the face
of the earth?
Turn
from thy fierce
wrath,

of this evil
against thy people.

And the LORD
repented
of the evil

And Moses
turned,
and went down
from the mount,
and the two
tables
of the testimony
were in his hand:
the tables
were written
on both
their sides;
on the one side and on the other were they written.
And the tables
were the work
of God,
and the writing
was the writing
of God,
graven
upon the tables.
And when Joshua
heard
the noise
of the people
as they shouted,
he said
unto Moses,
There is a noise
of war
in the camp.
And he said,
It is not the voice
of them that shout
for mastery,
neither is it the voice
of them that cry
for being overcome:
but the noise
of them that sing
do I hear.
And it came to pass, as soon as he came nigh
unto the camp,
that he saw
the calf,
and the dancing:
and Moses'
anger
waxed hot,
and he cast
the tables
out of his hands,
and brake
them beneath
the mount.
And he took
the calf
which they had made,
and burnt
it in the fire,
and ground
it to powder,
and strawed
it upon
the water,
and made the children
of Israel
drink
of it.

And Moses
said
unto Aaron,
What did
this people
unto thee, that thou hast brought
so great
a sin
upon them?
And Aaron
said,
Let not the anger
of my lord
wax hot:
thou knowest
the people,
that they are set on mischief.
For they said
unto me, Make
us gods,
which shall go
before
us: for as for this Moses,

that brought us up
out of the land

And I said
unto them, Whosoever hath any gold,
let them break
it off. So they gave
it me: then I cast
it into the fire,
and there came out
this calf.
And when Moses
saw
that the people
were naked;
(for Aaron
had made them naked
unto their shame
among their enemies:
)
Then Moses
stood
in the gate
of the camp,
and said,
Who is on the LORD'S
side? let him come unto me. And all the sons
of Levi
gathered
themselves together unto him.
And he said
unto them, Thus saith
the LORD
God
of Israel,
Put
every man
his sword
by his side,
and go
in and out
from gate
to gate
throughout the camp,
and slay
every man
his brother,
and every man
his companion,
and every man
his neighbour.
And the children
of Levi
did
according to the word
of Moses:
and there fell
of the people
that day
about three
thousand
men.
For Moses
had said,
Consecrate yourselves
to day
to the LORD,
even
every man
upon his son,
and upon his brother;
that he may bestow
upon you a blessing
this day.
And it came to pass on the morrow,
that Moses
said
unto the people,
Ye have sinned
a great
sin:
and now I will go up
unto the LORD;
peradventure
I shall make an atonement
for
your sin.

Yet now, if thou wilt forgive
their sin-

me, I pray thee, out of thy book
which thou hast written.
And the LORD
said
unto Moses,
Whosoever
hath sinned
against me, him will I blot out
of my book.
Therefore now go,
lead
the people
unto the place of which I have spoken
unto thee: behold, mine Angel
shall go

thee: nevertheless in the day

I will visit
